Sometimes You Have To Forge Your Own Path! Latasha Brize Medical Assistant, Armed with Persistence!

LaTasha Brize grew up in Champaign, Illinois, raised by a single mother who struggled to keep food on the table by working at an industrial factory. Her mother always encouraged her and her two younger siblings to get a higher education so they could pursue better opportunities. Motivated by her mother’s hardworking example and sage advice, Brize eventually earned a bachelor’s degree and started her own health care staffing agency. She wrote Armed with Persistence to tell the story of her arduous, yet rewarding journey.

LaTasha recounts her own story of struggling to complete her bachelor’s degree only to find that she can’t find employment in her chosen field—health care—because she doesn’t have enough work history or on-the-job training.
